The world champion freediver has been made a Member of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to his sport.
Trubridge, who spoke to RNZ in October about his fears of catching Covid-19, began freediving in 2003 and, in 2005, became the first freediver to dive at Dean’s Blue Hole in the Bahamas.
